On Sunday, April 16, at the 10:30 service, Pastor Jeff blessed 82 cancer resource books. These books were purchased by Stephen Ministry with funds donated in Memory of Darlene Adams and will be donated to local libraries, cancer treatment centers, and our very own church library. These resources help cancer patients and their family to learn how to deal with the emotional needs that a diagnosis brings. Thank you to the Stephen Ministers and all who donated to make this happen.
